[QUOTE="Dave, post: 519536, member: 498"] That 30,000 acres that I refered to is rangeland. That is all it will ever be. It is straight up and down, rocks, timber, and canyons that are scary to ride a horse into. Lots of it doesn't have much in the way of top soil. And if it were turned that would be lost. It wont be farmed. My point was they have and are making amazing things happen on farm land but there are still places where a horse and a rope is where evolution has stopped. There will still be feedlots. What are they going to do with all that distillers waste. There are a lot of cattle fed on other waste products from producing human food. Will we go back to just finishing in feedlots instead of feeding for longer periods? I think so. Will we go to growing out feeders further on grass because there is a lot of land suitable only to be used as pasture or range? Again I think so because it is a better use of resources. That is what I see for the future, better smarter use of our limited resources. And a part, be it a small part, is still going to be a cow getting into some canyon to eat grass. In doing so she will be converting the sun's energy into a useable product. And someone will still have to get on a horse and chase that cow up out of that canyon. [/QUOTE]
